    You have no idea how happy this notification made me. I pushed myself out of bed this morning to go shooting, all because of this series. Thank you for all of the wisdom and inspiration, Sean.

    We might be witnessing the best photography channel in here. Sean man!!, I have subscribed to multiples photography channels but no one, no one has that extra ability to get the teaching and the topic clearer than you. Some people got that talent and you definitely have it, friend. Keep it up and good luck !! Greetings from Cuba and London.

    I used to think that lighting was the most boring and tiresome part of photography/cinematography, but videos like these are giving me love for learning more and more about lighting techniques. Thank you so much. Don't stop making these. Lighting is such an underrated and overlooked subject .

    I'm constantly searching for videos to share with my HS photo students and no one I've found has your ability to get straight to the point and present information clearly and concisely without all the ridiculous "shabang!" nonsense. Well done Sean and thank you so much for such high-quality applicable content.

    Ah, these videos are so pro, I can't stop watching in my free time. Sean, don't change, you are an inspiration and a stellar educator. I'm no betting man but if I had to, my money is on you becoming a monumental success, perhaps not out of choice but out of an ability to share and spread your passion in a way and with a humble presence not many could match.

    Hi Sean! I want to thank you for the great content you create. Most photography related channels keep on talking about gear (which really does not matter these days), but you focus on what matters: how to take better pictures. Keep it up!

  • @RobertFGardner
    @RobertFGardner 6 років тому +1

    Sean you are one of my favorite youtubers, no question. I always learn so much from your videos! I wish you did more if them. That being said the risk of over-saturation could happen. Please continue to do your fabulous work. You are a true inspiration. I would love to attend on of your workshops. I live in Missouri, so I don’t see that happening in the near future. I will watch as long as you are on.
